I snagged Viva Pinata for 26 even.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-10-2007, 07:34 PM

People look at me like I'm crazy when I try to tell them Viva Pinata is suppsoed to be a really good game. It's kinda frustrating after how much people here seemed to enjoy it.

Dinny · 07-10-2007, 08:26 PM

I absolutely loved Viva Pinata. It's a bit slow for the first 3-5 hours, but then it really picks up pace and becomes a great game.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-10-2007, 08:42 PM

Well I mean moreso that I'll tell like your average 18-35 year old male that I've heard it's really good and they seem outraged that I'd suggest a game that looks so juvenile to them. Judging a book by it's cover and all that.

I'm sure this conversation has come up before, but just to state my feelings:
Who is more immature; the person who plays a cartooney game or th eperson who refuses to play the game because it's cartooney? I feel perfectly comfortable buying and playing games filled with bright colours. People who consider themselves "too old" or "too cool" are the oneswho are clearly less secure.

I agree. Wholeheartedly.

*Brodie* · 07-10-2007, 10:46 PM

The guy who was working the counter, I went to highschool with. He said, you cant be buying this.

My response?

"I need something to contrast The Darkness."

And that it does.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-12-2007, 02:24 PM

Picked up a black DS Lite (To prepare for Pokemon) and Elite Beat Agents. Both are very sweet. Man, the DS is a killer system.

*E* Son of a bitch, what's happening to me? I can't stop playing EBA. I am addicted to a friggin' MUSIC GAME.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 12:09 AM

Oh god, what has the world come to?!

When I got EBA I literally did nothing but play the game for at least a week. Well, I ate, drank and slept but you get the point.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 12:30 AM

Got Max Payne on PS2 for like $2.79.

I wonder if it'll work.

I was never one for music games myself. I think people look so goofy playing DDR.

But I recently got Guitar Hero II, and now I'm adicted to it! It helps that you look way cooler playing with the guitar than you do jumping on that pad.

Plus, the music selection rocks the house.

*Roseangelo* · 07-13-2007, 02:33 AM

I plan on finally buying a PS2 before the end of the year... mostly for Guitar Hero.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 03:39 AM

Do you have anything else? III is coming out for like everything except PSP and PC.

You can't tell me with a straight face that there's nothing wrong with rocking out to Avril Lavinge and Ashlee Simpson.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 11:21 AM

I'm not pointing any fingers. They both hot as hell, too.

Good choice! Guitar Hero is the good sauce. A lot of times I'll pay $50 - $60 for a game and I'll just get disappointed later that I paid so much for something that wasn't as awesome as I had hoped. Guitar Hero II was $80 and I am really getting my money's worth. It's also the only game I have where I can have friends come over and we can take turns making fools of ourselves. Now I just need a 2nd guitar.

I recently picked up Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Game is really fun, but it's also really hard (Damn spider ninjas and their exploding shurikens). I've gotten so close to throwing my controller against the wall only to realize that the damn thing is $50, so maybe I probably shouldn't.

You also might want to look into Rock Band.
